    Best experience in Egypt!

    My experience with Happy Pharaohs Tours was amazing. Everything was very well organized, and you could really feel the attention to detail, which made the trip truly special. Mohmed is someone you can fully trust. He was always attentive, kind, and ready to help, making everything feel smooth and stress-free. It was truly an unforgettable experience. I would definitely recommend them and would happily travel with them again!!!

    A Safe, Authentic and Memorable Trip

    We had an amazing 10-day trip through Egypt! The itinerary was beautifully organised and allowed us to discover both the iconic highlights and the authentic side of the country. The temple of Abu Simbel was absolutely breathtaking — definitely a must-see, even if it means a long journey in one day. We also had the chance to do an excursion into the desert, which became one of our best memories of the trip, along with the hot air balloon experience in Luxor. Our driver and guide in Luxor and Aswan were fantastic: kind, funny, professional, and always attentive. Their explanations and anecdotes made every visit so enjoyable. The Nubian Village tour and the walk around the Hurghada marina were also wonderful experiences we highly recommend. All airport pick-ups were perfectly coordinated, and the little touches like having water in the car made everything even smoother. Mohmed has been responsive, available, and attentive to each client’s needs, which made us feel safe and supported throughout the whole trip. Overall, it was a beautiful and memorable journey thank you for this amazing stay!

    Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor cost?

    +

    Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor take?

    +

    Plan for about 6.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.

    Is Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 6.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Luxor?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Private Half day Tour to West bank. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Luxor?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Luxor?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor?

    +

    Included: All Transfers by Private A/C latest Model Vehicle; Bottled water; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Hotel pickup and drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 69 listed pickup locations in and around Luxor.

    What languages is Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Russian, Japanese, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor?

    +

    Is Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor if the weather is bad?

    +
